Why are we doing this:

To celebrate the High Country Rail Trail, showcase the region and attract visitors during this quiet period for tourism.

We are also fundraising for the High Country Rail Trail. Many many community and business volunteers continue to contribute significant time in restoring traditional trestle bridges, fencing and establishing access so as to open this spectacuar High Country Rail through to Corryong.
